I just built a new grow room and planted some new plants and have noticed that the leaves are becoming silvery speckled. Upon closer examination with a 30x microscope, I have an infestation of SOIL LICE! I just repotted these plants 2 weeks ago. They were started in FF soil and transplanted in FF soil (different bags).

Has anyone else had similialr problems?
Can I get rid of them, or should I just start over?
Can they be transmitted to myself or family, or is this a different kind of lice?
Also read about baking the soil prior to using it. I never tried that and it sounds like a lot of work, but does anyone have any thoughts about that?

I'm considering using a different soil next grow. I'm not sure that I'm sold on Fox Farm because I've also had gnats from previous grows and they were flying around as soon as I opened the bag.

Help me out guys! And thank you...
